This is this weeks' cover. I noticed that the baby's White and i didn't read the article entirely but i bet it's probably talking about how racism may be genetic in only a certain group of people.
I know that (inherent or inhereted) genetics will be a topic in the article. Meaning how it's passed down from generation to generation.

Maybe. Here's some disturbing information:

Is it, though? I mean it's almost the same thing with the gay issue with whether or not you're born that way or you become that way. Both ways, on their own, are considered by one side correct and and the other side incorrect.
Question is who's right? Or more specifically, what is right. What is fact. Which is what counts or matters the most. The tough part's the research.

Sounds like a pile of shit, might be some truth to it, I'm guessing shit though. Children judging by skin color is hardly a genetic trait that has to do with a superior/inferiority issue, children are visual. It stands to reason that a (eg) young black child would view someone of white skin differently and notice a difference; that doesn't automatically mean the young child is thinking "he's lesser than I am; I am superior."
There's a good reason why that cover-baby is white, if it had been any other skin-tone, especially black, mother-****ers would have come out of the woodwork crying "Newsweek is racist", the fringe-Left would have tied it into some sort of attack on Obama and guys like Al Sharpton would be demanding a public apology and a [secret] payoff.

What? You can take a bunch of white babies from all over the world and have a black family raise them from an infant and I doubt any one of those kids would come out hating the family that raised them because of their skin.

No because that would mean you would have to either take children away from their original parents or use a bunch of orphans as guinea pigs.
Can you prove how racism is something you're born with? Racial tension is built from parents and outside influences. If your parents raised you to believe that Puerto Ricans were evil and inferior to black people then that is what you would believe for a long time or the rest of your life.
Can you explain how a white kid would grow up hating and despising his black parents despite them tending and nurturing for him/her and giving them everything they need?
Some people or is it just you, who has a hard time believing my post?
Question: Is this post hard to believe?

Experiment can prove or disprove that pretty easily (though it would take ten years or so). It's just that the most reliable methods for doing so are illegal.
There's no reason to believe that racism toward a specific group is inborn (unless you believe in psychic powers or genetic memory) but it doesn't seem unlikely that simple racism could be influenced by genetics.

Yeah I explained that the experiment wouldn't be likely done due to the years it would take and the fact that you're taking children away from their original parents.
I don't see racism as genetic, it's really about how you're raised. I have two friends who come from really racist families and they're not influenced at all by their hate. Granted these two people don't reflect 100% of everyone else.

Almost certainly. However, from an evolutionary perspective fear of the unknown and fear of things that are different help to keep you alive. Being racist is an outgrowth of that so I don't doubt that some people would be more fervent in the racism or more easily suspicious of other races.

Doesn't that hurt your point? If you can be raised by racists and end up not being a racist yourself other factors are probably in play (given in this case it's probably influence of people outside their families).
